    A float Plane has a Keel. On land you can't always land into wind and stopping would be very chancy from Normal touchdown speeds. Reverse thrust is Most effective early . Nev

    In regard to the Landing air cushion, Is THAT Successful? I can't see how you'd stop or steer it in a x wind. Nev

    You would TRUST SKY News and the Courier Mail? I certainly wouldn't. Murdoch hates electric and neither rate Highly in the truthfulness stakes .Nev

    Using braking as electro regenerative is a considerable save. They were talking specifically about the Aerodynamic drag coefficient. Nev

    The point is that fuel does go off in some tanks due to what's in the tank and once it starts I have no idea how to stop it. They go to a lot of trouble with Jet A1 and it doesn't sit for Long in Airliners that fly about 18 Hours each day. Bigger Lawnmower places have ADDITVES for sale. Nev

    Don't go Lower than the grade recommended and what about the Leaning effect of E10? Nev

    Fairly damaged. Might Not be repairable and the Occupant would have experienced considerable forces. Nev

    I'm JUST trying to Get the correct responses to your Problem. Changing the thread starter would have aided this. Interference seems to be Much More of an Issue than when everything was shielded. Permanent magnet alternator regulation a new Problem? Nev

    RAAus endorsement is about 5 Hours but for a few People that is an Imposition. That includes passenger carry Tuition and Pax Briefing etc The BIG deal was in relation to High drag Planes where the speed decays rapidly when the Engine Quits. Today there is Less and Less of such Planes around and you could go your entire U/L career without having to fly one. Same with a tailwheel to some extent. You DON'T HAVE to fly them. Nev

    THAT would BE BS IF you were Current. They can want what they like but if you perform OK then that's it. I would say such behaviour should be frowned on. IF you want to Hire and take away one of their Planes that is another Matter. You Don't HAVE to do a BFR in the plane you fly the Most either. Any endorsement can be a BFR. That's specifically Mentioned. Others May Have Posted as I was Compiling this. Please take that into account. for clarity..Nev

    Those Licences are Permanent You Just Need the right Medical and BFR and the endorsement could be the BFR. Austers might Be More Plentiful than The Citabria or a Super Decathlon. The Last 2 are Aerobatic. Nev

    I Know it automatically Transfers VH to RAAus but I can't see how You could be sent solo without a student Licence i(at Least) in a VH plane. I had a Period of no flying and no licence was valid so I was issued with a Student Licence to Fly Both Types of B 727 to Permit me to get qualified again.. Nev

    What relevance do those two Comments have TO the thread topic.??? Nev

    I don't think any of us Know the full story and in what context that Witholding occurred. Many make a Judgement I got the Impression they were out to GET someone to Blame . Nev

    There would have to be I reckon but a ring around or list is what's needed.. Tail wheeled Planes are More difficult to Insure for obvious reasons. Nev

    You are Pushing your Luck, Moneybox with the IMC bit, Particularly. Nev

    It might be Helpful To think what Made something like this Necessary to Prevent going bankrupt and perhaps losing your House it you Work for RAAus. Nev

    Maybe they'd rather keep Quiet than be shot down? Nev

    Skip.. if you wish to be a Pedant , explain what is a LYcon? A lot of this is Much Adoo about nothing. Nev

    Think about it BRL. Nev

    You couldn't get petrol at all here during ww2 and we had coupons for other essentials. Cars were put on Blocks for the duration.. Nev

    What Rubbish, BRL . Nev

    There's a war on Mate and there's plenty of Places worse off. Philippines as an example..Nev
